Well done, that's a great achievement!

I started C25K in April 2011, couldn't run more than the 30 second intervals to start with and even then I struggled to do all of them. Nearly a year later and I ran 5 miles on Sunday, can do 5k in under 30 minutes consistently, am registered for a 5 mile road race in May which I'm confident of finishing in under an hour…

Well done, that's amazing! We're thinking of doing our first half marathon in November and you've really inspired me to give it a go.

We're seriously thinking about it - there's one in November near us which I reckon we could be well prepared for, just getting up the courage to enter! Thanks for all the encouragement!

My husband and I are doing the Marlow 3 mile one, we're aiming to get up to 6 miles this year but March is a bit too soon. We're doing a 5 mile road race in Marlow in May though, so the Sport Relief race fits nicely into our training.

Today was day 8 for me and I'm really enjoying it - if that's the right word! I have an average sized lounge and have plenty of room and use 1kg handweights, although I used tins of veg at the beginning and they worked perfectly well. I can definitely see and feel results in my body even after 8 days - jeans are looser and…

Another recommendation for adding extra calories for breastfeeding - I think that the suggested figure is 500 for exclusively breastfeeding a tiny baby, 300 for feeding a baby who is also on solids and 100-200 for feeding an older baby. I add an extra 200 for feeding my 19 month old, who feeds around 4 times a day/night.…

I've just done day 3 of the 30 Day Shred and so far it definitely feels like I've worked my body hard. I've seen some great results n here, both pictures and measurements, have a look in the Success Stories forum. Can't vouch for the results myself yet but so far so good!

Well done! I logged snow shovelling last week - I am a teacher and our school was shut to the kids after about 5 inches of snow, but I was in and spent 90 minutes shovelling snow to clear the paths and the car park, I was sweating loads - great exercise though!

I'm with you on no more excuses :-) I started trying to lose weight again on January 1st after losing 3 stone successfully last year but this year has been one excuse after another - I had lost 5lb but put 2lb back on last week. So since Thursday, there are no more excuses for me - I'm back on track. No cheat days, no…

There are some great reasons here. I'm getting fit because I want to live longer and be generally healthier, and set a better example to my two young sons and to all the children I teach at school. Last year I lost nearly 3 stone and discovered that I enjoy exercising, so now I'm trying to reach fitness goals as much as…
